I keep hearing that the ending of this game should not change because it would damage the artistic integrity of the product.  I have a few problems with that assertion.  Firstly, this is a consumer product, not just a piece of art.  Consumer products are only successful if there are consumers willing to buy them.  Companies that displease their customer's do not stay successful companies for long.

Second, I hear that changing content would set a bad precedent for the industry.  I would like to direct your attention to the many game companies, Bioware included, that have taken the step of including creation tools with the game so that users can make their own content.  This content is then downloaded by the community and in no way diminishes the original artisic integrity of the product, it only enhances it.  All that content is a choice, if you don't like it, don't download it.  The same would be said of an "ending" dlc.  It would be a choice if you wanted it or not and that does not invalidate what the original product stands for.  I don't remember hearing this argument when Bethesda first released creation tools for Morrowind, if anything, the media were praising them for allowing the gamer to tailor their experience to their liking, not making arguments that user created content damaged the artistic integrity of the product.

I am not calling for Bioware to change the ending as is, because there are many out there who are pleased with it.  I am only asking that Bioware give the gamers the choice of how they would like to see the trilogy end.  We have lived, loved and laughed with Commander Shepard.  This character has become an extension of ourselves and, as such, we deserve to have closure to the story we invested so much of our time in.

I applaud Bioware for making a product that has invoked such extraordinary passion in the community.  This is a victory.  Now they can make that victory complete by doing what good companies do, listen to their customers and do what is right by them.  This has nothing to do with art, it has to do with a customer being satisfied with the product they spent their hard earned money on and continuing to do so in the future.
